Palin today commented on their agenda: Jonathan Martin, politico.com October 07, 2008 Palin adds hefty dose of substance to hit Sarah Palin, appearing in Jacksonville today, dinged Obama again on Bill Ayers. But she also used a fundraising lunch to broaden her critique onto the substantive turf that McCain was on yesterday in New Mexico. Note also the Flordia-centric pushback on Social Security. We will also make health care more accessible and affordable. Despite what Barack Obama says, his health care plan puts expensive mandates on small businesses and will drive up unemployment and layoffs at a time when middle-class Americans are already hurting. Our health care plan will give millions of middle-class families access to better health care without costing them a dime. In fact, every middle-class American family will have a 5,000-dollar credit to buy the health care you choose. Barack Obama is calling that a tax? That's not a tax, that's changing health care for the better. And John McCain and I will protect the entitlement programs that Americans depend on — and above all, Social Security. No presidential election cycle is complete without the Democratic candidate coming down here to Florida to try to stir up fear and panic on this issue. And if you expected any better from the guy who promised to get rid of “old-style politics,” you’re in for a disappointment — because Barack Obama has exploited this issue the way he exploits so many others. So, let there be no misunderstanding: John McCain has always kept his promises to America, and as president, he will keep America’s promise to our senior citizens. Put all of these issues together, and John McCain’s the only man in this race with a plan that will actually help working families … and cut our taxes … and get our economy back on track.politico.com
